Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Hello, My name is Shelby. I am looking forward to having this procedure as soon as I can. But I can't until January. I am wondering if I am doing everything in the right order. Maybe you could advise me, since you have yours all done and have passed? I E-mailed the info to Dr. Rutledge and got my letter for the insurance company. Then I faxed it to the insurance company as I thought I was supposed to do. I have seen my Doctor and got his approval, but he is waiting for my lab and x-rays to come back before he writes the letter for the insurance company, and Dr. Rutledge. Not sure, but is the next thing I do is fill out all those questions for the doc? I get all balled up sometimes, cause I am so busy all the time with work and all, I don't know if I am coming or going. Thank you for any help you may be able to afford me.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 Shelby: Don't wait for your insurance approval. If you are committed enough to have the surgery go ahead and start the packet and get all the letter written. It will take a while so get started and don't panic. I do not think I heard what type of insurance you have, ask and maybe someone else has gone the route with that insurance. The process takes time so don't expect too much too fast.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 Hi, Shelby! You know, as far as I know your PCP (personal doctor at home) doesn't have to write to the insurance company--the letter Dr. R sends them should more than suffice. But go to the web site at clos.net and follow his 12 steps. Your biggest chore is getting the " Packet " ready and submitted to Dr.R. This will include the letter from your PCP to Dr.R, so keep on your doctor to provide you with his letter of recommendation along with a full written physical history. But, as I say, all of this is on the www.clos.net web site and you can't go wrong if you follow this out. Good luck to you, Sperb >>> byshel2619@... 11/02/00 01:57PM >>> Hello, My name is Shelby.
